This was a FUN watch!!! Especially the 5 minute torture testing 👌 Tuned in for the next part for sure, keep up the good vids!
We are with you EXO
Anyone who knows anything about car audio already knew your testing was legit Exo. Big D also does super legit testing. We also already knew Sundown SA subs would never blow on rated power or more 😂😂😂. I wouldn't be surprised to see them do just fine on 1500 RMS for 5 minutes.
Exo in the wild :)
Yoooooo EXO
Yooo Sundown Audio is Fire
The 28 dislikes are from Rockville employees 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahah No doubt!
Or Skar
I can see them being competitors. I use a Rockville 1600 watt amp for my Sundown 12 and that Beast is a monster.
Who remembers Rockwood car audio ?? Cheap shitty Chinese equipment back n the day !!
I've got mad respect for Sundown now, I mean it's really hard to find quality on this level nowadays and Sundown has proved it's level of quality bar none.
It is to Sundown's benefit that they market their products using real numbers. Underrated numbers even. I appreciate that honesty, and I am sure others do too.
Grab Rockville subs and test them..they did it to yours

If he tested Rockville the video would only last 30 seconds lol

Rockville full of shit I watched the test videos
It'd be a waste of time really sundown subs are made for torture lol 😂 😂
ROCKVILLE SIGNED THEIR OWN BANKRUPTCY WARRANT !!! 😂😂😂
Lol all the big names on TH-cam are testing or reacting to Rockvilles video lol. They must be like shit should just said it's a 350rms sub lol
Rockville be like: "Welp.. We're fucked"
Is there another video I need to see? Lol
Rockville like sbv3 coming soon 5000rms
Lol @ smokeville
It will blow! just hook it to a clipped to hell junkville amp LoL
Dude my amp will rip it apart, its a cheap garbage sub.
@@zackburkhart8693 1. you cant afford the equipment i've got 2. I highly doubt the sub will take over 2k considering it was starting to bottom out at less then 1,100 watts. my amp at 14volts puts out 11k at 16 volts 14.300k. Do yourself a favor kid and leave this shit to the adults who actually have the stuff. Hell im quite sure you cant even afford half of the current build Im working on. GO back to your video games.
@@ColdVenom159 Did Zack pinch a nerve? Real mature bringing up someones finances, considering you know nothing about what he has or doesnt. Grow the fuck up.
@@ColdVenom159 "you can't afford the equipment i've got" hahahahaha look at me i have money [that isn't that much in the end lmao]
@@laykehicks8413 Actually it's called money saved up. Car audio is a hobby who goes into car audio who actually knows what their doing buying top of the line equipment and actually thinks they are gona get their money back no one that who. Before you start talking better learn we all know you never get the money put into a build back its. It's a draw back we are willing to accept so ya nice try trying to sound like you are saying something that's new. As for it not being much um ya ok let's see you spend thousands on a build knowing you won't see your money back and act like its nothing. We do it for the enjoyment of the builds not the money part of it. Haters always dog on those who have what they cant get or cant afford. It's nothing in the audio field.
Rockville... More like Crockville! EMF audio even picked apart the Crockville video and backed up Sundown.
you mean Crookville
EMF was wrong on a couple of criticisms of the Rockville video as well. You can't believe anyone.
Why does everyone seem to go with whatever EMF says? He's not always right, and his test was different than EXO's and Rockville's... He claimed it was harder and we're just supposed to take his word for it because he did not do the same test.
carlos oliveira He is human, we all make mistakes. He might not have done it on purpose. On the other hand rockville are acting really dodgy about their power ratings.
EMF IS SUNDOWN just so you are aware. Still Chinese junk
Its pretty sad a company that has been known for low quality and cheap products would have the nerve to try and down a company like Sundown Audio. I understand the K9 woofer is cheap and decent, but will never hold a candle to the Sundown subwoofer. I still can not understand what they feel they are accomplishing by making those videos trying to discredit other companies. I actually heard someone say "Rockville makes a decent product", putting your logo on a Alibaba product is not "making" a product. LOL Much respect for you guys at Sundown Audio, making this video is cool, but not needed because you guys have already earned the respect in this industry.
I love watching Rockville get absolutely annihilated. How did they think it was gonna go lying about such high end companies 😂🤦🏻♂️
Legit testing. I've been running with 3 banhammer 12's and 3 sundown scv2000d's for 3 years now and the subs and amps have never been a issue. Especially when I average 152+ on music. Sundown you know you guys are great and your doing everything right when you have haters. Thumbs up brutha
Smashing good time!
And yet so professional...
You kept it classy where the other guy(whatever dudes name is) Bashed EXO, Big D, American Bass as well as Sundown...
Crush them!
As far as I’m concerned Sundown audio has nothing to prove to us we know how awesome your product is !!!! F the haters and keyboard trolls!!!! And he said a steady tone was the toughest thing on a subwoofer!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for this video, brother. Was looking for a sub for my wife and her mustang. She's been in love with Sundown since the demos in my truck with the ZV5 15s! Look forward to throwing one or two in the trunk of her car!
Thank you for taking your valuable time to provide this test. I have been watching all the videos pertaining to the kay9 fiasco. My opinion is that in order for these tests to be subjective is to compare each sub in the manufactures recommended enclosure,& recommended power rating. Connect all the recommended test paraphernalia for all to see, & let the games begin.
Ultimate car audio vid... A warehouse tour, an unboxing, a bench test, and a clapback. Well played sundown, well played.
Glad to see you addressing the Rockville nonsense
2mins in and I already like the attitude about their results. This is gunna be good.
I didn’t see the other test, but as far as this test goes...Derrick is spot on. Great testing. The Termlab doesn’t lie. Clean power is key for the longevity of ANY subwoofer. Good job. 👍
I love the way you manned up that shows alot about the company. Good honest test. I no where I'm getting my next set of 15s from.
no sweat!
I love your channel!
Thats my favourite demo song!
Good video! It helps a lot when you don't clip and distort the hell out of the sub woofer. EMF's video was just as helpful.
Very awesome job my friend. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this.
OH SH!+!! SHOTS FIRED!!! Sundown for the WIN! As always Derrick you have shown the World Exactly what Sundown Audio is TRULY all about. Now if only I had the electrical to support the amazingness that is Sundown Audio
I've got 2 v1 e10s in my truck for 3 years after I rebuilt them from holes getting put in them. They been over powered there whole life still going
this would be much more fun if we could tag other companies to try out the "Will it blow" challenge. Great video!
A ( will it blow challenge ) is definitely something we need to start having as a mandatory for all these car audio companies , sundown far exceeds my expectations :)
there is an american bass video on here with it plugged in to the wall 120v then they put it on music and it is still good to go
I have just purchased the new SAE1500D LIMITED EDITION and two E15-V4 D4 Subwoofers and I can’t wait to get them all installed in my little Scion xB. I plan to upgrade everything soon but I thought that this would be a good starting point for me. I have always been a Bass Head and it all began in 1987 when I purchased my first car. I have had many different types of cars, trucks and vans since then and nearly every single one has had some kind of bang in them. This is going to be my first experience with Sundown Audio and I believe that I will not regret it. I’m looking forward to doing a lot of business with you guys and I’ll keep you posted on the progress. I’m also trying to get my employers to sponsor a SPL build for me and also sponsoring a competition in the future. Please help me out with this if you are interested.
Sa12 nice job, legit test. I have a sundown sae1000D mono amp. And very happy with your product. Im pushing a alpine type R, and its stomping that sub. At times it smells hot. As soon it blows, I will purchase a sun down 12 without a doubt. Its the best sound system on the market...
🤣🤣😂 Love it, get them Derick.👍👍
He is going to send it. Getem
Rockville is getting shat on from every possible side at the moment😂😂, as it should obviously
@Wikkitt Klown When it comes to car audio, that old adage "any press is good press" doesn't apply. Rockville is going to have to lower the price to near cost to recoup.
@Wikkitt Klown LoL only a noob that know nothing about Subs would buy Rockville.
I had a black back sa 15 on 1500rms for a year then sold due to money problems loved it....
I'm impressed. I'm looking to get one of these to go with my obsidian in my new setup for my truck.
Glad you made this vid. I could tell the Rockville test was bogus big time. They shouldn't mess with companies that know what they are doing. May have just put themselves out of business.
Rockville just did a live stream on sundown 12 inch woofer... i know what speaker am buying for my car... ##SundownRocks## 20 minutes torture test by Rockville and they appologized cudos! Am a 30 year in bass... and never seen that kind of quality in a subwoofer... Sundown You Are Speaker Gods!! 👍😎
I have 2 of those and I put them to work and they are still kicking and have not had a single problem keep making them and make them better.
Sundown for life! Can't beat the quality of sundown. Keep up the good vids. I have 11 e8v.5s taking over 5k clamped and there over a year old! Love my sundown!
They're
Keep banging these videos out, keep crushing flea market garbage, and BASS TIL U DROP!
I saw the post on ig and I was like I know what this is about lol
Didn't even expect you guys to respond lol, but definitely entertaining. Thanks for the good content! I wouldn't be surprised if the SA 12 took a burp at 4,000 to 5,000 watts rms, 2000 rms for 3 minutes 1500 rms for 5 minutes.
I had 2 SA 15s on a SAZ 3500 wired at .5 ohm for over a year before one of them went, Coil didnt fry. it just seperated from the cone. Hands down the best speakers ive ever had. check the profile for vids and the setup. keep it up SUNDOWN.
Remember Rockville powered your sa sub on one of their Rockville amps that don't make the power it claims to make
They clipped your sa sub to death and won't admit it. But we all know what really happened.
Yo, I'm not waiting for that 750 watt SA-12 to smoke at 1,000 watts. I don't have that kind of leisure time!
Hahaha lol!!!
@@UnofficialAudio You probably could had left that sub playing all night, and still heard it playing when you came in the next morning.
@catch woulda killed the battery bank before blowing the sub
Yeah unless you're going over 2 x rated power not going to really phase a Sundown sub LOL
You aren't going to smoke that sa 12 with 1000w....I run that all day on a garbage prefab box
i run a single sa-12 in a ported box at 32hz, 800w. never had any issues with smells. ive blown fuses before, but the sub has never had any problems. sounds really good and it hits hard.
Bought a sundown sae12 v2 d2 in a sundown enclosure and wow!!!! Very happy. Unbelievable power
Send one for EXO to test it on the setup he blew "the other brand sub" in.
EXO blows up everything unless they pay him.
One day in the realms of Sundown Audio, a man and his humble cart journey deep into the cold, dark catacombs in a quest to unearth a golden subwoofer and its sound chamber. Alas, the great treasure is found and brought forth into the light! As the ensemble of mechanical goodness is assembled and placed on its testing table, an inscribed dust cap taunts the eyes with the immortal words "Send it!" As power was sent into the durable SA-12 with a signal of 36 cycles per second it came to life! For minutes upon minutes upon hours the great beast fought the ever increasing power unleashed way beyond its rating with thermal and physical punishment that only a true champion could ever endure. Alas, the audio gods rejoice and smile upon us!!! For this subwoofer and its brethren hath faced many battles and triumphed once again! How dare those of the House of Rockville try to smite thee?
MrShiffles getting pritty deep in here😂
@@promo130 lol ready to get this last episode of GOT out of my system :)
That's what i was talking about, nice job Derrick, waiting for the part 2!!
This really is the golden age of car audio. So much at your fingertips, and anyone can afford a high quality, and high power setup. And here I am simply loving my budget build in my van with a prefab box and a $30 dollar 12" woofer. :-)
I'm kind of wish Sundown would talk more about the S.Q. side of things with their budget line, and how to go about making the ultimate box for these kinds of woofers to get the cleanest output.
I love the SPL stuff, but I really wish companies would really showcase more of their entry level line, and go more into what kind of enclosures would be best for that style of build. I've done a ton of work on my system, and love the sound, but I would like to build a real S.Q. box on a budget that would fit in my van, and seamlessly integrate with the basics.
Just good old fashion tuning, and proper driver selected. Kind of like a budget spl challenge. But Budget SQ format.
THAT would be super!
@Timothy That's what I have been saying all along! Few people know this, but the money you pay for your gear really is worth the investment. I just wish they would flex their muscle a bit, and show folks that what they are getting is really World class good stuff. I have to admit, I have been more of a S/Q/ person then SPL. But I love the quality of the gear. And you really do get real tech support. Not bad. :-)
Asks with pure confusion, "who tunes their boxes to 54hz?"
The million dollar question, haha
Sean W so true 🤣🤣 I don’t think they know what it’s tuned to
That's woofer land. Most pro boxes play in that zone. They use subs for the lower frequencys. They use brick wall filters to keep them in their area. Pro stuff has to play for hours at max volume in the rain etc.
Really cheap stuff will tune that low since a lot of people dont know what true subs can do. Most music stops at 60 hz since the average Joe's devices can't play any lower. Before the advent of CD's, you would be hard pressed to find truly low frequency stuff on records.... it made cheap turntables jump tracks plus it required larger spacing between grooves thus reducing the amount of time available per side of track. As an old fuck who still loves analog, that is the one area where digital shines- the ability to play low. I heard bonnie sing that same shitty song a million times in the 80 at car audio shows since it was one of the few popular songs that a true low note at -3 db on the meter. (Yeah, I have been following car audio for almost 50 years. The good old days weren't. 100 watts was a huge amp that would cost thousands in today's money. I bought an Alpine pre-amp deck that cost me 300 at accommodation pricing. Retail in today's dollars would probably be 2k. And it was not that great a head unit)
I like to tune my zv5 15s 60hz in a sealed box, my mids at 200hz, and my tweeters at 28hz. Its not much since its only being powered by 1 ohms but I just turn the weird knob on the amp all the way up
@@rickytrevino8281 I'm trying SO hard to comprehend what you're saying but your comment makes absolutely no sense lmfao.
@@bailey2517 mommy 🥺
10 mins of glorious victory on that sub... I already knew it would take it after having 2 sa12s... I wanna see it blow... then please do the X12, thats what i have now and the shop i go for tuning doesnt understand the power these things can take...
This is a great vid Derrick! Show and prove, walk the walk! You show ppl why they should invest into sundown✅💪
From the looks of it, Rockville only hooked up 1 coil from the SA sub they tested and put it on 1kw. Plus a distorted track and improper crossover settings from what was heard, and it still went 2 mins lol! Those guys are crooks. My next subs are coming from anywhere but Rockville. Keep up the good work guys. Subbed and alerts on! Love SA!
I would also like to say thanks to Derrick for all the awesome gear I've got in the last months from all you guys at Sundown. As well as EXO, Steve Meade, Johnathon Price. BIG D From Williston Audio Labs, and Ryan from Budget Gems for inspiring me to do my Budget Bangin Series here on TH-cam.
And Parker The Basshead Dachile
Can I slip you like $100 and you let me go out in that dark warehouse 😂
I know that's right 😁😀 I'mma go with you to hold the light😂😂😂😂
Their "throw aways" would be heaven for most of us! Lol! I'll fly out just to feel my around in the dark and take home what I can carry!
@@robertfattaruso1280 definitely
I'm going with you. I got a flashlight bro
My thoughts exactly, enough of us from the comments with $100 each would be a nice come up for someone 👉👈
Oh man I love it guys. Love the Battles. Cool videos. THANKS!!!
that's a true test with no funny business great to see no bs
Man I was so hoping more people chimed in on this
Give it a few...it's barely been uploaded for just over an hour.
@@apexpredator_jku I didn't mean chime in on this video I ment on this whole Rockville BS
Meow , I had a Rockville rpa8 and now a rpa9 pro DJ amplifier which is supposed to be 3000 watts, it can barely blow 2 Walmart dual brand subwoofers , I used those for my back patio on the amp, they work together lmfao . This big bad 3000 watts DJ amp barely pushing some 200rms or so 12s lmfao .
dis'n Sundown audio is like dis'n Dale Earnhardt especially in North Carolina. people will go crazy.
I Absolutely Love Your Equipment!!! I always recommend it and love you run it myself!!! I mights just have to order a set of those sa 10s off of y'all!!! Hells yea!!!
Wow the Sundown Audio is awesome. Your test is legit and anyone who says anything different is just not a fan. I beleive these sundown are one the best and made to take a beating. I am working toward trying to getting me 2 U -series10s and one those sae1500D amps after my last subs amp took a turn for the worst and died. I’ll be tuned in to catch some more Sundown Audio videos. Peace Out....!
Try that same 1000 w test with the Rockville sub. I guarantee it won't last 1 minute
Put 2 crockvilles against a sa12
I'd love to see that too... Why aren't more people testing the Rockville sub in the newer way these others are being tested?
Why waist the money its already been proven the only there sub will survive is on a 1400 watt rockville (cea) rated amp that does 500 watts
That Rockville sub isn't even half what Sundown is charging. Both are made in China crap you might as well pay 1/4 what sundown charges and buy the generic Chinese freight version of the same sub
@@likeclockwork6473 post the link since its generic Chinese variant
Is going to be like hide and go seek. That's too funny. I'm not going to put my head down in shame but I do run the Rockville W12K6 subs. They don't seem to have the same glue problems, but I think you just sold me on swapping brands. I have to get me 4 of those.
Aj Sportsman get your bass where ever you can bud but this video still doesn’t show the power of a sundown
This is the way to call out a poser, they made you look bad, you prove it wrong. I like many here, would like to see you do the exact same test, including the coming till it blows test, on their K9 sub
I just subbed for subwoofers!!! This was cool ... I might have to look into Sundown woofers
I've seen both videos, I want to see a test showing how dirty the power from the DBcomp5 was compared to the SCV-4000. Ship the "Send It" woofer to EXO to test on the same amp he tested the Rockville.
I have worked there for a year and a half and never seen the golf cart!
Jennifer Hall that’s funny
I think I talked to you on the phone before. I called asking about a windshield decal.
Lol.
Can't see it if your not looking for it lol
Is a year and a half years a thing or am I jus high
I run 1 sundown sa12 powered by a skar audio 1000d. Sounds amazing and I have pushed it hard for a year now with no problems what so ever. Not to mention I picked up the entire setup used so there is no saying how hard they pushed it. Hands down my favorite sub I have ever owned. I have run 3 10" jl w6. 1 kicker solo baric l7 and many others over the years. No comparison.
I beg to differ. I've run both these and L7s. With the L7 you really have to get everything dialed in but when you do they have more punch. Sundown may pick up the lows a tad better but I'm still rocking 2 L7s to this day. They're the most durable subs out there in my opinion. Just have to have everything tuned correctly. Sundown is great though
AAH! After months of watching your videos, as well as some other bassophile channels, I just so happened to stumble upon a 2x SA-12 classic and amp deal, but it was a darn Rockville! So I have just one sub hooked up, for safety, and hoping to upgrade amps to power both these babies!
I can come and work on your lights for a SA-15 2 ohm recone!!! Lol
Me to please lol
Gee why does it need a recone?
The surround has a split in it and the guy I got it from just left it outside, so now it has sand in places where it should never be. The coils ohm fine.
They decided to pick on the wrong sub lol they should of done Rockville vs Pyle or Rockville vs DHD 🤣🤣
I am a true testament to the SA 12 v.3 subs. I have 2 running on a SAE 2000D In a WAAAAAAYYYY undersized enclosure (1.55q/ft per sub) due to limited space in my ram and these are by far the best subs I've ever owned. Love Sundown lifetime customer
Absolutely amazing video ! Then, the Only thing i would change, is I would test the heat of the cones/woofers before and after the 5 min tests. But other than that. This video is perfect!
And still the 🏆 Champion!
Sundown: 2
Rockville: 😂
*Looks like the Sundown blows away the COCKVILLE*
Yesssssssss!!!!!!! This has been my favorite series from all you guys!!!!
Amazing how well it works when u wire equipment up properly
Y'all should makea recone lot to fix the k9 since Rockville can't
Strongly agree
Yes
Hahahaa! Excellent. You know they can! Hmm, what would the dustcap say? 'NOW IT'S 750W! SA' or 'PROVEN 750W SA' or 'TEST THIS! SA'
Agreed so strongly
The dustcap would read, "Send it"
Thank you Sir for setting them Bozo's straight
the test was shaken my room with my old ass crunch audio speakers ,,,,, i would buy these,, the proof is right here
Im glad you did this vid!! You dont have to talk shit about rockville... we will do it for you.
I don’t know if any other speaker as tried and true as a sundown SA. Ran them for 2 years and the only speaker I’ve ran that never blew and pushed 40% more watts than rms daily.
Tate Thornhill my 2 sa 12s are ran by a Audioque (soundqubed) 3500.1
Subs don't push watts. Amps do.
No shit....that’s why I said I was pushing 40% more watts then rms....cuz I was pushing about 1200 watts to it...FROM THE AMP.....everybody thinks they know something specials.........
Sundown SA subs aren't made with magic. You'll see none of that magic smoke those other Jokers cough up after 10.7 seconds. Sundown SA's are pure beast, plays music loud like you want it, and are 💯% legitimate.
Edit: changed from 17 seconds to 10.7 seconds as shown by Exo's video.
This doesnt make sense.
deVille NM it’s like at first he’s saying they’re not good but then says they’re beast
@@andrewdimonda10 never once did he say they're not good. Y'all can't read
Great test. please do more of these tests on video. More Companies should do this test and post it.
Had two 10s SA. Had a 4k on them. I played them with no mercy. Sold them and the guy is still using them. That's 7 years now. They don't know don't run with the big dog Sundown Audio
Bruh...yall need some 5S. That warehouse is a wreck!
I love how you didnt take that mess laying down. Way to set those cats straight.
Haha yah -- the area of the warehouse with the yard-sale subs (dark area in the beginning) is sort of just a "catch all" area that we don't really work in on a normal basis.
@@jacobfuller9893 LOL!
We have a similar area...in clutch building land.
Wish i could show you.
I'll 5s for a amp
Lol 5s somebody works at discount tire maybe 🤣🤣🤣 love sundown and discount tire
@@TROUBLEMAKERVIDZ ...
No! Never!
I work for an international performance clutch company.
5s is the way to go tho.
Imagine someone jumping out at him while was walking in the dark lol
Lol
I'm OK with most of the Sundown guys jumping out, unless it's Jimmy! He's a big dude!
Clamped at the amp, no funny business, good stuff. Great editing fella, test looks clean. I dont know why somebody else's video had so much trouble he says, hahaha
I have been running my SA-10 off of my Rockford Power 1000bd for YEARS now. Solid 2 ohm load. It has been in three different prefab boxes and still holding solid. Now I do not full blown wail on my sub but I do enjoy occasionally beating on it. Use clean power and don’t drive the things into the ground. Under powering is far worse for them.
Send some SAs to EXOControlto to test.
Sundown wants all the smoke 😭😭😭
now i know,what subwoofer i should buy..thanks for the video,its very helpful for me..
american bass xfl a lot cheaper and takes the watts also. they had one plugged in to the wall 120v for like 5mins then put in on music. can get xfl for like 150-180$ for a 15inch
Ive had my sa 12s on 2100 true rms for years no problems at all.these subs are worth every last cent.
I've never seen a sundown sub not take its rated power. Lmao. Or even double its rated power
What's the CEA rating on that SA sub though....? Lmao
i think mockville themselfs confirmed its a solid 3500wrms CEA rating.
Haha
Cea certification not needed when the give honest rms from factory cea is for cheap stuff that lies and if you don't look for the logo then you will still be lies to
"Program Power" LMAO
@Mykel Hardin I'm with you bro. This man is talking out of his ass.
I only buy 2006-CEA certified amps.
Btw love sundown audio actually saving up for a setup from y’alls
Everyone should already know what kind of quality Rockville has with all of the videos of blown woofers on here. I can't believe they made a video.
I'd say , with 750w you could turn the light out and go home. It will still be playing the next morning.
Put that rockville on the same test. I will be surpriced if it takes 750rms
Sundown audio is the best I have a e type running on a hifonics 1800 watt mono gains set at 3/4 probably my best purchase ever
The Scooby doo trip thru the warehouse was awesome!
